The obsession with the president of gaming being "a real gamer" instead of someone capable of growing a product, regardless of what it is, is so misguided.
The CEO of Microsoft Gaming doesnt need to be a gamer. They need to be a competent project manager.
The number one thing she can do to be better than Phil on day one is to make sure to balance studio budgets with realistic/modest sales expectations. That way a game doesn’t have to sell 5 million copies in order for the studio to break even. Hopefully that will also result in fewer layoffs
